Number Dwarfs Even Claims by Syrian Rebel Factions

The United Nations Human Rights Commissioner has released a new estimate for the overall death toll in the Syrian Civil War, topping out at just over 60,000, a number whose enormity surprised even them.

Instead of questioning the validity of the number, which dwarfs even Syrian rebel claims of 45,000 or more killed, Commissioner Navi Pillay appeared to take the number as unquestionable fact, condemning both sides for the shocking toll.

With no independent reporters on the ground in most of Syria, the reliability of the death tolls coming out of the nation are suspect taken individually however and, consequently, even more suspect when aggregated. Most reports come either out of regime or rebel sources with an interest in inflating the other side’s kill count to portray them in the worst light possible.

Where the true toll lies is anyone’s guess, but the hazard of guessing based on such reports came crystal clear in Libya last year, where rebels had also trumpeted a “genocide” of 50,000 people by the regime alone, and the body count never came anywhere near that figure. Syria’s own toll is likely to be even more difficult to come to terms with, as the war is lasting much longer and considerable territory remains in a disputed state.

The Syrian rebels, as with the Libyan ones, often point to the death tolls as proof of the need for NATO intervention to install them. Yet it is apparent that adding even more combatants to the ground isn’t going to solve the problem of a high death toll, and whatever the true count is, it will grow inevitably higher if NATO starts bombing cities like they did in Libya.

"Syrian Civil War" ??? Will Jason Ditz always ignore that this war has been planned by USA long ago? That US/NATO/Saudis have sent death squads to Syria for targeted killing of protesters and civilians in order to create hate for Assad and blame him ? There is a huge number of persons stating that and videos showing, that the "peaceful protesters" were armed from the beginning – also a high ranking Saudi did confirm this. Meanwhile virtually any terrorist fighter in Syria is a foreigner. Depending on places foreign killers and looters have reached 95 percent.

For this high number of death the UN is to blame because they became a war propaganda tool of the USA and did not protect the Syrian people of these US/Saudi proxy terrorists.
Antiwar only does distribute lies from war mongering US press, but ignores and is suppressing the real information as you can find here:

Its not a civil war and was no uprise. It﻿ is a US planned hidden proxy guerrilla war – in US Army terms: UNCONVENTIONAL WAREFARE:

The US and the 'coalition of the dummies' and their armed foreign rebels in a vain attempt to oust Assad, hijacked the people's revolution.What they thought would be another quick Libyan do-over has failed dismally. The UN as useless as tits on a bull, Commissioner Navi Pillay is doing her best imitation of Chicken Little.

Where was the UN's outrage at the Iraqi war and the skyrocketing death toll of over 1ml. Iraqi dead and mutilated civilians? and where was Navi Pilly when NATO used the negotiated No Fly Zone that both Russia and China agreed would be enforced to protect Libyan civilians and instead used it as a pretext to unleash a blitzkrieg of 2600 bombing raids over Libya? The unarmed civilians are just being used as cannon fodder.

There is no such thing as civil war in Syria, the syrian war is a implanted , organized, orchestrated and to some degree paid by U.S and EU.., these regimes are all in for war.., UN needs to wait another four years or more to continue counting more dead Syrians and europeans and other national terrorists because of the wests non democratic, a non functioning democracy, or if you will a militarism regimes hand in hand with vulture capitalism wanting to kill people to protect their dictatorial friends as Saudis kingdom, the Qatari, the jordanian kingdom, the Turkish ass kissing regime who would do anything and everything to become a EU member, like EU would save the turkish regime and predict the date when Turkey is no longer the salve of EU or NATO.., the Swedish monarchism that are friends with Saudis and the list will go on and on.., unless there is a meaningful, a true political settlement set to take effect within 2013, otherwise Syria will become the grave yard of all these Europeans and other Nationals terrorism. Look: U.S and EU have made their biggest mistake, a political stupidity messing with Syria.., Syria is no Libya and is not going to become Libya…, Syrian government have no interests being one of the puppet regime of EU or U.S, they want to keep their independent choosing their friend and foes alike, they don't want to have anything to do with Saudis nor the Qatar's dictatorial regimes, if EU or U.S government were understanding this simple concept they would stop supporting their dictators and puppet regimes and start working for democracy.

Can you hear the "interventionist" drums beating louder now? Can you hear the snake oil talking bobble-heads calling for "action"? Action for something they themselves have initiated, financed and given logistical support to? Out of these "numbers" how many are a result of American meddling? And when did the UN pull some numbers out of it's magical hat and not condemn American for it's murderous actions pre and post Saddam? Eh? Eh? Anyone?
